w/ Curls, Coils & Kinks


I am so excited I FINALLY tackled another one of my fears - DIY products! I never really had much of an interest in whipping up some kind of homemade natural hair potion but I am so glad I did and would love to share it with you. This particular DIY recipe was derived from Naptural85's YouTube DIY clay wash. I took the base of what she suggested and created my very own version of a clay wash based upon ingredients that best suited my hair & scalp needs. That's the beauty of DIY products 1. You know exactly what ingredients are being used 2. You decide the ingredients and how much 3. You can always add or remove any ingredient(s) based upon your personal needs.  This clay cleanser is super gentle & effective and can be used on most curls, coils & kinks. Let's get better acquainted with these exceptional ingredients & learn how to create such an easy, gentle, yet beyond effective DIY hair cleanser!

My scalp and hair loved this clay wash! 

Say bye to dry & harsh shampoo/cleansers by creating your own DIY hair cleanser! Follow these easy steps and experience these wonderful ingredients to unlock the healing & moisturizing abilities. While gently cleansing your scalp as effective as shampoo without all the negative side effects with my DIY cleanser. Enjoy!


My scalp & hair was left super soft, moisturized and clean!

DIY Clay Wash Measurements - These can always be altered based up your personal preferences. I purchased an applicator bottle that has the measurements on the bottle as well. These measurements will give you about a 5 oz. DIY Clay Wash supply which is perfect for me since I shampoo cleanse only once a month! I used a little less than 1 oz. for one wash and my scalp has never been so clean & moisturized ever!
